If you were there

From Wham

You're the one that makes my day a dream come true

Yet and still you wander if i think of you

You ought to see how the other girls behave when you're not round

And only then you would know that it's on your finger I'm wound

Chorus:

If you were there you'd know

If you were there you'd know

If you were there you'd know

If you were there you'd know

That I care

There's no need for you not to have faith in me

No

'Cause it's by your side girl that i long to be

Yes there are times with my friends when i don't have much to say

What you don't know is with you i can never act that way

Chorus:

If you were there you'd know

If you were there you'd know

If you were there you'd know

If you were there you'd know

That I care

I care for you baby

I swear that I care

I care

There's no need for you not to have faith in me....

Have faith in me...

I care for you baby....

Plot Script

A

Susannah: Forever turned out to be too long, Tristan.

Tristan: I know.

B

Tristan: Samuel Decker Ludlow.

C

Susannah: Dear Tristan, Alfred and I were delighted to hear of your son's birth. We had hoped for a child of our own, but of that I despair. I know Alfred thinks of you often. I look forward to the day when we all might see one another again. Your son bears a proud and noble name. I know he will live up to it. Please give my love to Isabel II and to your father and everyone else. Yours always, Susannah.

D

Tristan: Evening, gentlemen.

O'Banion: Tristan, meaning to talk to you about one or two things.

Tristan: By all means.

O'Banion: As you know perfectly well, we handle the liquor around here. Now, you've been what we call a small-time operator. An amateur, frankly. But lately, your shipments have been getting a little fat. And my patience has been getting a little thin. So the next time you get in our way... will be the last time.

Tristan: Excuse me. I appreciate.

Man: Perhaps you're wondering why you're not dead already. Your brother is Congressman Ludlow, that's it and that's all.

1. Forever turned out to be too long.

记得一首歌里唱道“永远到底有多远”，这恐怕是谁也说不清的问题。但是对于 Susannah来说，“永远真的是太远了。”

2. Bear a proud name

“有一个值得骄傲的名字。”Samuel 这个名字的意思是“听见（上帝说）”。这里需要注意的是 bear 这个词的用法。它的意思是：to possess，to have and be entitled to。例如：He bears a title of honorary president. 他有一个名誉主席的头衔。

3. Live up to

To live in accordance with (expectations or an ideal or standard); measure up to. Susannah 的意思是小 Samuel 也会像她以前的爱人 Samuel 那样英勇无畏的。例如：Arthur will live to his proud name.

4. Small-time operator

小打小闹的私酒贩子。

5. Your shipments have been getting a little fat. And my patience is getting thin.

你贩的量有点大了。我对你的耐性也降低了。Fat 和 thin 这两个词在这里用的很好，非常形象。大家可以借鉴这个用法。
